Backup quarterback Matt Flynn took first-team reps during the open portion of practice.

Other players returned after suffering concussions recently. Outside linebacker Sio Moore, who was concussed in a Sunday car accident, passed NFL-mandated concussion tests and was back on the practice field. So was cornerback Tracy Porter, who suffered a concussion in the third quarter of Monday’s loss.

Left guard Lucas Nix returned to practice after sitting out with an ankle injury. Defensive end Jason Hunter was not dressed with an undisclosed ailment.
